[All CDPSE Questions]

Which of the following BEST represents privacy threat modeling methodology?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Privacy threat modeling is a methodology for identifying and mitigating privacy threats in a software architecture. It helps to ensure that privacy is considered in the design and development of software systems, and that privacy risks are minimized or eliminated. Privacy threat modeling typically involves the following steps: defining the scope and context of the system, identifying the data flows and data elements, identifying the privacy threats and their sources, assessing the impact and likelihood of the threats, and applying appropriate countermeasures to mitigate the threats.Reference:: CDPSE Review Manual (Digital Version), page 97

B seems like the clear winner to me. Systematically identifying and addressing privacy risks is the heart of an effective threat modeling process. The other options are more narrow in scope.

I'm a little confused by the question. Are we looking for the definition of privacy threat modeling, or the best overall methodology? I'm leaning towards B, but I want to make sure I fully understand what the question is asking.
